Lab description

Layout of a 10 bit digital to analog convertor.

 

pre lab

For this pre lab I complited tutorial 1, and a cercuit is made with 10K ohm resistance.

This shows how to measure the length and wedth.

when extracted the resistance was 0.24K ohms off,

Lab procedures:

Calculation of the lenth and width of N well resistor is required in this lab. R=p*(L/W) R is the total resistance, p is the sheet resistance, L is the length, and w is the width. The width should at least be 12 lambda, which is about 3.6um, and the total R is  10K ohms, and from the formula we can find L = 45um. The 10kN well resistor that was created in pre lab is used here to create the layout of the DAC.

This is the 1 bit DAC which has 3 resistors, so we need 10 more like this.

this are the 10 bit, obtained by combining the 1 bit.

this is the DRC of the design

The file was extracted to make LVS.

The Lvs was done as seen below but it keeps giving me error.
